Terrorists are NOT PROTECTED BY GCIII, since they fail to meet the criteria as Prisoners of War as established in Article 4 of GCIII, and any protections they do receive are due solely to, and dependent upon, our pleasure. You mentioned Article 3 of GCIII, yet you failed (intentionally I presume) to mention the fact that Article 4 clearly excludes ANY of the individuals we have captured, in Iraq OR Afghanistan, since 9-11, so your Article 17 objection is MOOT. Just in case you'd care to actually take the time and actually read it, I'll include a LINK for you.
